    摘要: A lift apparatus and method for driving a downhole reciprocating pump is disclosed. The apparatus includes a hydraulic cylinder having a piston and a hydraulic fluid port, the piston being coupled to a rod for driving the reciprocating pump, the piston being moveable between first and second ends of the cylinder in response to a flow of hydraulic fluid through the hydraulic fluid port. The apparatus also includes a variable displacement hydraulic pump coupled to receive a substantially constant rotational drive from a prime mover for operating the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic pump having an outlet and being responsive to a displacement control signal to draw hydraulic fluid from a reservoir and to produce a controlled flow of hydraulic fluid at the outlet. The apparatus also includes a hydraulic fluid line connected to deliver hydraulic fluid from the outlet of the hydraulic pump through the hydraulic fluid port to the cylinder for causing the piston to move through an upstroke away from the first end and toward the second end of the cylinder. The apparatus further includes a valve connected between the hydraulic fluid port and the reservoir, the valve being responsive to a valve control signal for controlling discharge of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid port of the cylinder back to the reservoir to facilitate movement of the piston through a downstroke away from the second end toward the first end of the cylinder. The valve is operable to prevent flow of hydraulic fluid through the valve during the upstroke and the hydraulic pump is operable to prevent flow of hydraulic fluid back into the outlet of the hydraulic pump during the downstroke.

    摘要: A method and system for pumping unit with an elastic rod system is applied to maximize fluid production. The maximum stroke of the pump and the shortest cycle time are calculated based on all static and dynamic properties of downhole and surface components without a limitation to angular speed of the prime mover. Limitations of structural and fatigue strength are incorporated into the optimization calculation to ensure safe operation while maximizing pumped volume and minimizing energy consumption. Calculated optimal prime mover speed is applied to the sucker rod pump by means of beam pumping, long stroke or hydraulic pumping unit by controlling velocity, acceleration and torque of the electric prime mover or by controlling pressure and flow rate in hydraulically actuated sucker rod pumping system.

    摘要: A pump apparatus has a downhole pump disposed in a wellbore and has motor at a surface of the wellbore, and the downhole pump is reciprocated in the wellbore by a rod string operatively moved by the motor. A card indicative of load and position of the downhole pump is generated using surface measurements and a wave equation model having a damping factor or two damping factors. Actual fluid load lines are determined from the downhole card for upstroke and downstroke of the downhole pump, and calculated fluid load lines from the load distribution of the downhole data. The actual fluid load lines are compared to the calculated fluid load lines so that at least one parameter of the pump apparatus can be modified based on the comparison. For example, the damping of the wave equation model can be adjusted so that another downhole card can be generated.

    摘要: Diagnosing a pump apparatus having a downhole pump disposed in a deviated wellbore characterizes axial and transverse displacement of a rod string with two coupled non-linear differential equations of fourth order, which include axial and transverse equations of motion. To solve the equations, derivatives are replaced with finite difference analogs. Initial axial displacement of the rod string is calculated by assuming there is no transverse displacement and solving the axial equation. Initial axial force is calculated using the initial axial displacement and assuming there is no transverse displacement. Initial transverse displacement is calculated using the initial axial force and the initial axial displacement. Axial force and friction force are calculated using the initial displacements, and the axial displacement at the downhole pump is calculated by solving the axial equation with the axial force and the friction force. Load at the downhole pump is calculated so a downhole card can be generated.

    摘要: A method for evaluating data from a reciprocating downhole pump includes the steps of acquiring downhole position and load data, providing the position and load data to a processing unit, normalizing the position and load data, converting the position and load data to a calculated polar coordinate data set, evaluating the calculated polar coordinate data set to determine a condition or occurrence at the reciprocating pump, and outputting calculated key parameters for controlling and optimizing the reciprocating pump and beam pumping unit. The method further comprises a step of creating a library of reference data sets, comparing the calculated polar data set against the library of ideal and reference data sets, identifying one or more reference data sets that match one or more portions of the calculated polar data set, and outputting the probability of one or more of the known conditions within the calculated polar data set.
